What's going to happen this week. Thats' for us to find out and discuss. Please don't vote prematurely either. By my calculations this will be going up around 12:00 AM Eastern Standard Time, so don't vote until the episode actually airs please. Looking forward to it nonetheless.

If the main character were beaten this early, it'd show that the Gundams aren't invincible. I think many of us desire to see more of a realistic struggle than what we usually get with the battles. That's also the reason why there's so much discussion over grunt abilities and such. The SEED series really made a mockery out of many grunts and later, even major battles.

Based off of the preview from episode 2, it doesn't seem like the Exia is going to get trashed. However, we'll see it struggling against whatever that large suit was.

The IRA was mentioned in the story, apparently, though not relevant to the main plot.

Today's main theme is

Spoiler:

the problematic issue of some 3rd-world country farmers, and how their only real means of survival is to grow narcotics. Link then to the fact that burning of such crops cause starvation and death of farmers, but leaving them alone causes drugs flooding the market, and we have a dilemma on our hands.

I don't know which side CB is taking, but since they kill everyone, it probably doesn't matter that much.

Oh, and accroding to 2chan, the High Mobility Terien is 6 times as fast. Eat that Char!

At least he was professional enough to know that he was outgunned and outclassed, remaing long enough only to complete his primary objective.

If this keeps up, perhaps the complications of world affair issues might make this all the more interesting rather than just seeing pink explosions and one suit owning an army of his weaker counterparts.
